SECOND VARIATION.

Repeat as far as White's 8th move inclusive.

Should Black play, instead of 8. ... Kt to K 2, 8. ... Kt to Kt 5, the

following variations may ensue:

{376}

9. Q to K 4 9. P to Q Kt 4

10. B to Kt 3 10. P to B 4

11. Kt takes P 11. B to R 3

12. P to Q R 4 12. R to B sq.

13. P to Q 3 13. B to K 2

14. Castles ...

White threatens now a formidable attack with 15. P to K B 4, to be followed

by attacking the Knight with the Q B P, and so to win back the piece.

... 14. B to Kt 2

15. P to Q B 3 15. P to Q R 3

If 15. ... Kt to R 3, White would win with 16. P to K B 4.

16. Q to Kt 4: ch. 16. K to B 2

17. P to K B 4 17. R to B sq. (best)

18. P takes P: dis. ch. 18. K to Kt sq.

19. B to R 6 (!) 19. R takes R: ch.

20. R takes R 20. B to B sq.

21. Kt to Q 6, and wins.

For the immediate threat, 22. Q to K 6: ch., or Kt takes B, is fatal.
